The franchise's debut in Medellín
The American promoter Insomniac Events, in co-production with the local firm Páramo Presenta, has revealed this week the official lineup for the first edition of Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) in Colombia. The event is scheduled for October 10 and 11, 2026, at the Complejo Deportivo Atanasio Girardot in Medellín, consolidating the Antioquian capital as a new strategic epicenter for electronic music in the South American region.
A display with over 80 international references
The inaugural announcement stands out for a diverse program that covers multiple subgenres of the electronic spectrum. Among the biggest names are artists such as Alesso, Deadmau5, Kaskade, and a B2B format between Afrojack and Green Velvet. The techno and tech-house side features figures such as Richie Hawtin, Boris Brejcha, ARTBAT, Nico Moreno, and the act 999999999, accompanied by trance references such as Above & Beyond and Astrix.
Also joining the lineup are talents of the stature of Illenium, ALOK, Armand Van Helden, and rising projects like Beltran and Miss Monique, ensuring a balanced offering between legends of the scene and sonic vanguard.
Themed stages and guest brands
The festival's production will replicate the brand's characteristic infrastructure, confirming the installation of main stages such as kineticFIELD, circuitGROUNDS, neonGARDEN, bionicJUNGLE, and stereoBLOOM. Additionally, the organization has detailed that the venue will host exclusive programming by specialized brands in the sector, including the Factory 93, Dreamstate concepts, and the renowned German institution Time Warp, ensuring deep curation in styles ranging from underground to melodic trance.
Impact on the South American industry
The arrival of an event of this magnitude underscores the sustained growth of the clubbing industry and large festivals on the continent. By establishing itself in Colombia, EDC adds its ninth global location, complementing previous editions in Mexico, Brazil, and various Asian territories. The choice of the Complejo Deportivo Atanasio Girardot will allow for the adaptation of the immersive installations and mechanical attractions that define the festival experience, evidencing the technical capacity and commercial maturity of the local market to sustain high-budget productions.
